You know there is more to this story since his results are clearly there. Cant wait to here what really happened.

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

Wow. They had been recruiting well too. Something happened...wonder if we ever find out what it was.

Still posting on social media. If it was something scandalous, you would think that wouldn't be the case.

 

[Racpack]

Rumored candidates are 5 Big Ten Assistant Coaches - Bryan Synder, Shawn Bormet, Casey Cuinningham, Lou Rosselli, and Donny Pritzlaff. It is believed that it is Synder's job if wanted. Has great credentials for Northwestern. PhD and coached Burroughs and Green.

 

[koleszar]

Bet it will be Pritzlaff. This is Rutgers didn't any of you learn yet we can't have nice things for very long.:)

No head coach, no problem, as Sebastian Rivera just committed to Northwestern.
